The #FavaCicoria at @LilFrankies 18 years ago on a trip to #Puglia #Italy in a small seaside town called #Vieste I met a woman chef #Doratea at #EnotecaVestawho who schooled me hard on this classic #regional dish. She didn't have to say much, she just had to serve it to me and from there our relationship blossomed into a kinship of two #Pugliese paesano with deep respect for the kitchen of the magical heal of the boot. The Pugliese basically invented the Italian olive oil and #vegetable cookbook, and this perfect #soup is a beacon to that fact. A simple #poetic combination of dried #favabeans, wild #dandelion leaves, #oliveoil, #seasalt and #garlic that will leave you stunned and #vibrating with just how #incredible a rustic method can be. #availableEveryday @FrankRestaurant @LilFrankies #comeandgetit #andinstantlyfeelbetter #nutritionalPowerhouse #greensandbeans #antibioticGarlic (at Lil' Frankie's)
